  Beschreibung

  We are revamping our garden to grow more of our own food and are looking for a single or couple to help out 3 hours a day 5 days a week.
  
  We live in an amazing location a 10 minute walk to the ocean and the same distance to downtown Victoria on a quiet street with a view of the Olympic Mountains and ocean. You can attend free music and events at government house - 5 minutes away and browse the Saturday market just down the street for beautiful flowers, vegetables and local crafts.
  
  We are a recently retired couple who love to travel - most recently we spent 5 weeks in Japan.we also have travelled to Vietnam, Thailand, many countries in Europe and Cuba. We also love cycling (year round) and camping (summer).
  
  Victoria is a ferry ride away from Vancouver and Seattle if you are looking for city life and a 4 hour bus ride from Tofino for surfing and amazing beaches. Lots of camping, hiking close by and a great cycling network with protected bike lanes (we have spare bikes). Victoria hosts many free festivals throughout the years and has a pretty good music scene.
